So during Piper's kidney infection ordeal they wanted to asperiate her lymphnodes because they seemed large. Got the results back today, it's Lymphoma. Any information would be greatly appreciated if anyone has gone through this. We go to see the oncologist tomorrow. I am just trying to process this right now. I'm in shock. I feed great food, give supplements, everything I can do to make sure my dogs have the best and longest life possible. It's just not fair.

I think some dogs are just prone to this and it wouldn't be anything you did that could prevent it from happening.

I don't have any personal experience with this disease but googled "treat canine lymphoma" and there are a lot of links. Most say caught early and with treatment 50% go into remission. I hope you can find some helpful information.

We had our first round of Chemo yesterday. Oncologist says that Lymphoma responds very well to Chemo(about 80% of dogs go into remission with B cell Lymphoma) They did the test yesterday to find out if it is T-cell or B-Cell. We are praying for B cell because it is much more responsive to the chemo. The oncologist is said T-cell is the real bad stuff. The catch is the average remission is only 14 months than it comes back. When it comes back, the cancer is more resistant to the chemo drugs so the chance of going into remission is smaller and the remissions are shorter. Our current plan is treat with chemo, diet change(from high quality kibble to The honest Kitchen), supplements(fish oil, mushrooms) and try to get our girl a few more years of a great life. I am comming to terms with the fact that Piper is not going to live to be an old dog but she is not going out without a fight as long as she has good quality of live. I've been looking for a dog cancer forum and can't seem to find one.

My chocolate lab, Downie, was diagnosed with lymphoma when she was about 10 years old. Several rounds of chemo, diet changes, and supplements gave us an extra two years with her (almost all of it, except for the last few weeks, at a high quality of life). I am still grateful for every second of that extra time, and I hope you get many more happy days with your Piper. Best wishes.
